Steve McIntyre 930c9332c4 update text describing non-free firmware 2010-06-14 21:28:12 +00:00
Steve McIntyre b9c25ca204 * Add support for forcing firmware packages onto CD#1:
+ Add "FORCE_FIRMWARE=1" to CONF.sh to turn this on
    + Will pick up on packages in the "firmware" task and install them
    + Will also add sym-links to them in CD1/firmware so that new d-i code
      can find them easily.
    + Will add a short sentence into README.html/README.txt
  * Add top-level control of which checksums are desired for output images
    see the CHECKSUMS setting in CONF.sh
  * Fix some bashisms in tools/apt-selection.

Frans Pop 7b9e96355e Excluding reiserfs4 udebs is not needed for Squeeze

Frans Pop 7f2d5a048c Exclude udebs for X.Org-based version of the Graphical Installer
If needed they will all be included in the D-I images.

Frans Pop d961fb7e0e s390: specify offset and size of the initrd for booting from CD
The old setup worked fine with an ext2 initrd but fails with an initramfs,
either because autodetection is different for initramfs or because of kernel
changes (I suspect the first).
This means that booting s390 from CD has not worked since sometime during the
Etch release cycle, even though support for booting from CD was only added
early in that cycle - ouch.

For booting with an initramfs initrd we apparently need to specify its
offset and size at specific memory locations.

Change is based on SuSE's CD boot. Many thanks to Adam Thornton, Mark Post
(of Novell) and Bastian Blank for providing the pointers to the missing bits.

This fixes booting from CD using the d390.ins file; tested in Hercules for
both Lenny (31-bit kernel) and Squeeze (64-bit kernel).
Booting from CD using the d390.tdf file may still be broken (if possible at
all) as I have no idea how to test that.

Steve McIntyre fbc97b97c6 * Fix link in README.html.in for lenny, and update squeeze to match.

Frans Pop fe2334131d Add a Xen variant on i386 and amd64
Patch from Ian Campbell.

i386 Xen guests require a PAE (686-bigmem) kernel in order to
run. Therefore this variant includes the relevant installer kernel and
ramdisk in install.386/xen as well as suitable kernel udebs and proper
debs for the installed system.

amd64 Xen has no similar requirement but we include the kernels under
install.amd/xen in order to have a consistent path under both
architectures.

Frans Pop 1477ac67b6 sparc: remove bogus default "append=cdrom" line from silo.conf template
AFAICT this option does not do anything: we're already booting from
CD-ROM at this point. If it were needed, it should also have been
included in the other append= lines.

Frans Pop 774bd01ca9 Update and cleanup udeb exclusion lists for lenny (general, i386, amd64)
Some udebs that no longer exist are removed and new (in some cases not
really new, but well) udebs that are known to be included in the initrd
are added. For i386 and amd64 the list of kernel udebs already included
in the initrd is updated.

Steve McIntyre 60dbf627e2 * Major licensing problem cleanup: (Closes: #497270)
+ Remove binary blobs from the package; pull those files from the
      .debs in the archive as needed (isolinux.bin, vesamenu.c32)
    + sbm.bin *not* yet worked out, so drop it for now
    + Pull out the code to find the right deb and put it in a new helper
      shell script (tools/which_deb), called from Makefile and boot-* as
      needed.

Frans Pop d0d5297d3c Updates for exclude-udebs:
- exclude any libdirectfb udeb instead of particular version
- exclude kbd-udeb and console-setup udebs (not yet used)
